HIMSS CPDHTS Sample Questions:

01. A digital access initiative is live, and leaders want to know whether it is performing as intended across adoption, workflow efficiency, and user perception. Which approach is strongest?
a) Use a monitoring framework that includes multiple measures tied to the intended outcomes
b) Judge the initiative only by whether go-live occurred on time
c) Wait one year before collecting any evaluation data
d) Focus only on the number of logins because it is easy to count

02. A digital maternal-health initiative is underperforming in a region where transportation insecurity and intermittent phone access are common. Which stakeholder partnership is most likely to strengthen the transformation effort?
a) A branding agency focused on app-color selection
b) Community organizations that can help address access barriers affecting digital participation
c) A software reseller with no role in local care delivery
d) The payroll department

03. A digital transformation sponsor needs support from clinicians, finance, compliance, and external community partners for a new care-coordination model. Which approach best reflects strong stakeholder relationship building?
a) Engage stakeholders early, clarify shared goals, and incorporate their concerns into the transformation design
b) Present the finished plan only after all design decisions are final
c) Limit discussion to the IT department to preserve speed
d) Use executive authority to avoid negotiation with stakeholders

04. A health system is redesigning patient-document exchange so files can move between clinics, patients, and care managers. Which design choice best protects personal information across communications, applications, and storage?
a) Protect only the database layer and leave communication channels unchanged
b) Rely on staff discretion rather than formal controls
c) Use secure transmission, role-based access, and protected data storage together
d) Allow documents to be downloaded freely if users agree verbally to confidentiality

05. A health system is replacing a long-standing referral workflow with a digital coordination platform. Training is scheduled, but frontline managers have not explained why the change is happening or how roles will shift. Which risk is most likely?
a) Weak adoption because staff readiness and local engagement have not been adequately addressed
b) Faster adoption because fewer explanations reduce resistance
c) Elimination of the need for post-go-live support
d) Automatic improvement in stakeholder trust because the platform is newer

a) A single informal workflow used by each department as it prefers
b) Launching services first and writing policies after demand is proven
c) Limiting telehealth planning to video-platform selection alone
d) Clear telehealth policies and procedures aligned with the applicable rules and operational workflows

07. A health system wants to reduce manual review of free-text clinician notes when identifying patients who may need follow-up for missed screenings. Which technology is most directly suited to extracting structured meaning from narrative text?
a) Natural Language Processing
b) Cloud redundancy
c) Barcode medication administration
d) Health Information Exchange

08. A predictive outreach tool assigns lower priority to patients with irregular historical digital engagement, even though many of those patients live in areas with limited broadband access and fragmented care. Which concern is strongest?
a) Lower digital engagement always means lower need for outreach
b) Bias review can wait until after full enterprise deployment
c) The software logic may be embedding bias that disadvantages already underserved groups
d) Model performance should be judged only on overall response volume

09. A transformation steering group is split: clinicians want more workflow flexibility, compliance wants tighter standardization, and finance wants lower implementation cost. Which leadership response is strongest?
a) Structure the discussion around explicit decision criteria and the tradeoffs of each option
b) Let the most senior person decide immediately without discussion
c) Delay the decision until one group withdraws its objections
d) Choose the least expensive option to end the conflict quickly

10. A vendor proposes a workflow shortcut that would let staff reuse a patient’s previous consent and identity-verification data in situations where current confirmation would normally be required. The shortcut would improve speed but create uncertainty about whether current authorization is still valid.
Which consideration is most important?
a) Faster processing automatically justifies the change
b) Ethical and safety implications should take priority over convenience-driven shortcuts
c) Ethical review is needed only if a complaint is filed
